A Message To The World

i quote off some guy's newsletter. he really wanted to send this message out.

" About ten billion humans have lived and died on this giant ball of mud hurtling through space. (Interestingly, that's not much more than double the number of people who are alive today.) How many of those ten billion did anything of note during their lives? Maybe a tenth of one percent?
What about the rest? Well, incredibly they were willing to squander their irreplaceable, limited, precious life in dull, repetitive, mind-numbing boredom. And in many cases, this was a choice - it was not imposed on them like previous generations.
These faceless, nameless millions left nothing behind apart from a new generation of the same. They are all gone now; their names forgotten. They pushed humanity forward by not one inch. They were born; they consumed; they died.
It's sad to say but if the truth be told, 98% of gravestones... if they were to be honest, should simply state:
"Here lies John W. Doe. He was born; he consumed; he died." "

so very true indeed. our biggest regrets will not be that of what we did, but rather of what we didnt do.
